Sunny Felt Box With Nuno Felt Inlays










I felted in organza, gauze, silk, yarns, crochet and curly wool.




So the sun doesn't only shine on T.V.- Please tell that Morten if you se him.

Little Felt Box


Grandmothers smell like grandmothers what you perceive while they are reading fairy tales.
Grandmothers hair turns white...

Grandmothers always listen when you have a problem.
Grandmothers sometimes only say one short sentence but that will grow in your heart and mind forever.
Grandmothers have doilies or some lace on their undershirt.
Grandmothers hide pearl jewelry in a small box.
Grandmothers do handcraft.
You never forget Grandmother...





"Grandmother's Whisper" that's how I call this felt box.

Angel Felt Box for Christmas





Ever felt an angel's breath in the gentle breeze? A teardrop in the falling rain? Hear a whisper amongst the rustle of leaves? Or been kissed by a lone snowflake? Nature is an angel's favorite hiding place. ~Carrie Latet

I wish you a merry Christmas!

Flattering Felt Box

A hanging felt box again. Some say it looks like an angel. Other say it's an owl. What do you think?

Sometimes I don't fancy working with bright colors. That's a piece for giving my eyes a rest. Only natural, curly wool with some effect yarn which you don't see on the photo but in the sunshine it glitters in the felt.

Hanging felt vessel


I loved felting this bird nest.




But mostly I like making felt boxes, vessels, cases etc. where man can hide lovely treasures, hold necessary things or leave messages for someone.
So this nest is to work as such a helper in the abode.

It's quite big...



The beads are from a necklace of the 60-70s. Someone gave them to me, maybe I could use them instead of throwing away. Now I found a good place for them. That's also some kind of recycling...

It looks beautiful when the light shines through them.

I felted in silk fibres and pieces of a gift-ribbon.


My favorite color has been blue since I was a child. Different shades. In the last time I like to combine it with more green and warm yellow.

I will take it with me to a Christmas market in Germany and I hope it will find a new home.


Have a sunny day!

Felted Camargue-horse

"The Camargue is an ancient breed of horses found in the Camargue area in southern France. For centuries, possibly thousands of years, these small horses have lived wild in the harsh environment of the Camargue marshes, wetlands of the Rhone delta. They developed the stamina, hardiness and agility for which they are known today. They are the traditional mount of the gardians–the Camargue "cowboys" who herd the black Camargue bulls used in bullfighting in southern France. Camargue horses galloping through water are a popular and romantic image of the region....

Camargue horses are always gray. This means that they have black skin underlying a white hair coat as adult horses. They are born with a hair coat that is black or dark brown in colour, but as they grow to adulthood, their hair coat becomes ever more intermingled with white hairs until it is completely white.
...
Some researchers believe the Camargue are descended from the ancient Solutré horse hunted during the Upper Paleolithic period. Extensive archeological evidence has been found in the present-day Burgundy region of France.[1][2] The Camargue breed was appreciated by the Celtic and Roman invaders who entered the Iberian Peninsula.

Their calm temperament, agility, intelligence and stamina has resulted in these horses being used for equestrian games, dressage, and long distance riding, which is growing in popularity in France."
